Alfrea was built to help gardeners and landowners connect

Your Marketplace for Land Sharing, Garden Services, and connecting you to Fresh Local food.

Fight climate change by reducing food miles and restoring carbon to the soil.

Win the Amenities war. Our Apartment Amenity offering connects apartment communities with land and services to grow their own food. We work directly with apartment management companies and owners to design and implement garden spaces in order to differentiate their communities. Forget location, location, location. For apartment managers, there’s a new battle cry:
amenities, amenities, amenities. New residents demand them—and you feel the pressure to
deliver them. And if you can’t—you’ll feel the pressure of filling vacant units. Alfrea has the
solution.

Alfrea can help. Would-be gardeners can find and rent a garden plot with a free membership; landowners looking to rent out space pay an affordable membership fee.

The growing season is starting! See our current listings for inspiration and then post your land, service or market product.

Here at Alfrea we’re excited to be creating an online community working to connect neighbors to land, gardening services and local food. To better serve you we are currently conducting a customer service survey. We appreciate you taking the time to help us better connect our local food system.
